I have a buddy with a 2009 RG. He wants to do just Cams in his bike. I have convienced him to not use SE. What should he go with?

What kind of riding does he do? Where in the rpm range does he want the power to peak? What brand of cam would be "good enough"?

All types of riding. We bar hop as well as tour. I did a complete HQ build, so I was going to suggest HQ Cams but I have no idea which ones.

I really think the woods Tw6-6 is the way to go. It looked like a nice TQ curve. CAll Jamie at fuelmoto he did the test on them

I have a like new set of CVO 255's I'm contemplating installing in my future 103" build. I'm still half a$$ed interested in the HQ525's based upon what they're designed for but until I see some use/support of this cam I won't bite on it yet....

The perfect camset does not exist,having said that an Andrews 37 would be a nice hot rod cam , if he is a hot rod type. There are many cams that will make him happy if he can identfy his wants, however most likely his wants will change so don't obsess over this as he can always change the cams out!

tw-6 is the best bang for the buck. If I were to do it over that is all I would have done.
